There's an old song that was
sung during our American Civil War called Tramp, Tramp, Tramp... The Boys Are Marching. It came to my mind this morning when I took a look at my Grandson's birthday card I had made for him last night. Today's the "Big Party".
He is still really excited about
all things CW, so I did this card from those great papers I bought at Forevermore Scrapbooks in Gettysburg, PA.
I used my Crop-A-Dile to fasten
these large brown eyelets and threaded them with crinkled ivory seam binding that I distressed with Vintage Photo. Also inked all the paper edges. Added a Bo Bunny Timepiece Metal Trinket and a Tim Holtz Clear Charm Fragment I made with a paper scrap and Glossy Accents.
I put a T H Memo Pin holding
a stamped Happy Birthday to the inside. Hope the birthday boy likes it.
Have an enjoyable Saturday!
